Ribbon-like textile product and method for producing a body reinforced with said textile product

Abstract

The weft threads ( 14 ) of a textile product ( 10 ) run at an angle of at least approximately 70 degrees with respect to its warp threads ( 12 ) and the weft threads ( 14 ) protrude, by a piece, beyond the outermost warp threads ( 12 ′), on at least one side of the strip-shaped textile product ( 10 ) in a strip-shaped textile product ( 10 ), consisting, in particular, of filaments, threads, or a yarn, for use as a reinforcement layer for hoses, tubes, pressure containers, and similar hollow objects. Alternately or in addition, the warp threads ( 12 ) are formed thinner than the remaining warp threads ( 12 ) in at least one boundary area (R) of the textile product ( 10 ).

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. Strip-shaped textile product, in particular having filaments, threads, or yarn, for use as a reinforcement layer for hoses, tubes, pressure containers, and similar hollow objects, the textile product having a longitudinal direction and a cross direction, the textile product including warp members running in the longitudinal direction of the textile product and extreme warp members defining the outer boundaries of the warp members in the cross direction, and textile product also including weft members, wherein: 
       the weft members run in the textile product at an angle of from 60 to 80 degrees with respect to the warp members; and  
       the weft members project beyond at least one of the extreme warp members such that the weft members do not remain in contact with the one extreme warp member beyond the outer boundary of the warp members.  
     
     
       2. Strip-shaped textile product, in particular having filaments, threads, or yarn, for use as a reinforcement layer for hoses, tubes, pressure containers, and similar hollow objects, the textile product having a longitudinal direction and a cross direction, the textile including: 
       warp members running in the longitudinal direction of the textile product with extreme warp members defining the outer boundaries of the warp members in the cross direction, and  
       and weft members,  
       the textile product further including: 
       a first outer boundary warp structure comprises a first set of warp members, the first outer boundary warp structure located at a first one of the outer boundaries of the warp members and including the extreme warp member defining the first outer boundary;  
       a second outer boundary warp structure comprises a second set of warp members, the second outer boundary warp structure located at a second one of the outer boundaries of the warp members and including the extreme warp member defining the second outer boundary;  
       a middle warp structure comprises a middle set of warp members, the middle warp structure located between the first and second outer boundary warp structures,  
        wherein:  
       the weft members run in the textile product at an angle of from 60 to 80 degrees with respect to the warp members; and  
       the first outer boundary warp structure is thinner than the middle warp structure.  
     
     
       3. Textile product according to  claim 2 , wherein the weft members project beyond at least one of the extreme warp members such that the weft members do not remain in contact with the one extreme warp member beyond the outer boundary of the warp members. 
     
     
       4. Textile product according to  claim 2  or  3 , wherein the first set of warp members comprises a different material than the middle set of warp members. 
     
     
       5. Textile product according to  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the warp and weft members are comprise woven fabric, a knit fabric, or a scrim product. 
     
     
       6. Textile product according to  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the weft members run in the textile product at an angle of about 70° 32′. 
     
     
       7. Textile product according to  claim 1  or  3 , wherein the weft members projecting beyond the at least one extreme warp member project beyond the outer boundary of the warp members by at least about one millimeter. 
     
     
       8. Textile product according to  claim 2  or  3 , wherein the second outer boundary warp structure is thinner than the middle warp structure. 
     
     
       9. Textile product according to  claim 8 , wherein the second set of warp members comprises a different material than the middle set of warp members. 
     
     
       10. Textile product according to  claim 1  or  2 , further comprising a matrix material disposed within the textile product. 
     
     
       11. Textile product according to  claim 10 , wherein the a matrix material being disposed within the warp members and/or the weft members.
